Aus diesem Verband ging das Kürassier-Regiment K7 hervor (von 1745 - 1762 das k.k. Kürassier-Regiment von Schmertzing), das die Tradition der Caprara-Kürassiere fortsetzte.
Der vorliegende Pallasch war Teil der Ausstellung "Salzburger Kontingente im Dienste des Kaisers" im Salzburger Wehrgeschichtlichen Museum 2020.
